Health Care Quality

Complete instructions are provided in this week’s Learning Resources.

 

In this course, you develop a comprehensive Course Project: Promoting Health Care Quality. To initiate this project, this week you examine the systems and structures of an organization with which you are familiar. This analysis will serve as a foundation for developing a plan to address a quality improvement issue.

 

Section 1: Organizational Systems and Structures Evaluation

 

When a problem related to health care quality and patient safety arises, there can be an inclination to focus on a specific event rather than to examine the larger context surrounding it. Analyzing the systems and structures within an organization provides a foundation for generating a fuller understanding of how and why the event occurred and for developing strategies to address the underlying issues. Perhaps more importantly, such an analysis can be used to proactively identify potential challenges and improve organizational systems and structures in order to promote positive outcomes.

 

In the first section of your Course Project, you analyze the systems and structures of a health care organization with which you are familiar.

 

To prepare:

 

Identify a health care organization with which you are familiar; one that you will be able to sufficiently analyze to complete the full scope of the Course Project. (Refer to the Course Project Overview as needed.) This may be the same organization that you addressed in this week’s Discussion.

 

Select two or more of the following frameworks:

 

Learning organizations

Complex adaptive systems (CAS)

Clinical microsystems

Good to great

The 5 Ps

 

You may use the same frameworks that you addressed in this week’s Discussion.

With these frameworks in mind, analyze the systems and structures of the organization. Be sure to research and consider:

 

Mission, vision, and values

Strategic plan, goals, and objectives, if possible

Key operational processes and patterns

Information technology use

Organizational priorities and investments, as indicated by financial data

 

As you continue your evaluation of a health care organization, it is essential to pay attention to culture. Organizational culture provides the context in which all interactions and processes occur, and is therefore central to any effort to enact change.

 

In addition, consider the ideas and information exchanged in this week’s Discussion. Continue to analyze essential elements of organizational culture and evaluate the influence of culture on the ability to achieve goals within your selected organization.
